SECTION 2.3 Further Encumbrance of Issuer Property.

(a) Immediately upon the conveyance to the Issuer by the Seller of any item of the Issuer Property pursuant to Section 2.1, all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to such item of Issuer Property shall terminate, and all such right, title and interest shall vest in the Issuer, in accordance with the Trust Agreement and Sections 3802 and 3805 of the Statutory Trust Statute (as defined in the Trust Agreement).

Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the Issuer shall contribute the Issuer Property to the Holding Trust in exchange for the Holding Trust Certificates, which will represent the beneficial ownership interest in the assets of the Holding Trust. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer and the Holding Trust shall grant a security interest over the assets of the Issuer and the Holding Trust (including the Issuer Property) to the Indenture Trustee securing the repayment of the Notes. The Certificates shall represent the beneficial ownership interest in the Issuer and the Certificateholders shall be entitled to receive distributions with respect to the Holding Trust Certificates as set forth herein.

(c) Following the payment in full of the Notes and the release and discharge of the Indenture, all covenants of the Issuer under Article III of the Indenture shall, until payment in full of the Certificates, remain as covenants of the Issuer for the benefit of the Certificateholders, enforceable by the Certificateholders to the same extent as such covenants were enforceable by the Noteholders prior to the discharge of the Indenture. Any rights of the Indenture Trustee under Article III of the Indenture, following the discharge of the Indenture, shall vest in the Certificateholders.

(d) The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Notes or Certificates outstanding and all sums due to (i) the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture and (ii) the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) the Backup Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, have been paid, release any remaining portion of the Issuer Property to the Seller.

SECTION 2.4 Intention of the Parties. The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall constitute an acknowledgment by the Seller and the Issuer that they intend that the assignment and transfer herein contemplated constitute a sale and assignment outright, and not for security, of the Receivables and Other Conveyed Property, for non-tax purposes, conveying good title thereto free and clear of any Liens, from the Seller to the Issuer, and that the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property shall not be a part of the Seller’s estate in the event of a bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, or the occurrence of another similar event, of, or with respect to the Seller. In the event that such conveyance is determined to be made as security for a loan made by the Issuer, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders to the Seller, the Seller hereby grants to the Issuer a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the following property, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, to secure an

obligation in the amount of the consideration paid for such property as described in Section 2.1 (collectively, the “Sale and Servicing Agreement Collateral”):

(i) the Receivables and all moneys received thereon after the Cutoff Date;

(ii) the security interests in the Financed Vehicles granted by Obligors pursuant to the Receivables and any other interest of the Seller in such Financed Vehicles;

(iii) any proceeds and the right to receive proceeds with respect to the Receivables from claims on any physical damage, credit life or disability insurance policies covering Financed Vehicles or Obligors and any proceeds from the liquidation of the Receivables;

(iv) any proceeds from any Receivable repurchased by a Dealer pursuant to a Dealer Agreement as a result of a breach of representation or warranty in the related Dealer Agreement;

(viii) all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in its rights and benefits, but none of its obligations or burdens, under the Sale Agreement, and the delivery requirements, representations and warranties and the cure and repurchase obligations of the Representation Provider under the Sale Agreement;

(ix) all of the Seller’s (a) Accounts, (b) Chattel Paper, (c) Documents, (d) Instruments and (e) General Intangibles (as such terms are defined in the UCC) relating to the property described in (i) through (viii); and

(x) all proceeds and investments with respect to items (i) through (ix).

ARTICLE 3

The Receivables

SECTION 3.1 Representations and Warranties of Seller. The Seller hereby represents and warrants that each of the representations and warranties set forth on the Schedule of Representations attached hereto as Schedule B is true and correct on which the Issuer is deemed to have relied in acquiring the Receivables. Such representations and warranties speak as of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, but shall survive the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables to the Issuer hereunder, the contribution of the

Receivables to the Holding Trust pursuant to the Contribution Agreement and the pledge of the rights thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture and shall not be waived.

SECTION 3.2 Repurchase upon Breach.

(a) (i) The Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, upon the discovery of any breach of this Agreement by the Seller or (ii) the Backup Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, in each case, upon receipt of written notice or actual knowledge of a breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 3.1, shall inform the other parties to this Agreement promptly, by notice in writing. If any Noteholder informs a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, by notice in writing, of any breach of the Seller’s representations and warranties made pursuant to Section 3.1, the Indenture Trustee shall inform the other parties to this Agreement in the manner specified in the preceding sentence on behalf of such Noteholder. Any such notice delivered by the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust, any Noteholder or the Owner Trustee, as the case may be, shall constitute a request by such party that the Seller repurchase the affected Receivable. As of the last day of the second (or, if the Seller so elects, the first) month following the discovery by the Seller or receipt by the Seller of notice of such breach of any representation or warranty made pursuant to Section 3.1, unless such breach is cured by such date, the Seller shall have an obligation to repurchase any Receivable in which the interests of the Noteholders are materially and adversely affected by any such breach as of such date. The “second month” shall mean the month following the month in which discovery or actual knowledge occurs or written notice is given, and the “first month” shall mean the month in which discovery or actual knowledge occurs or notice is given. Any such breach will be deemed not to have a material and adverse effect on the interests of the Noteholders in the Receivable if such breach has not affected the ability of the Holding Trust or Noteholders to receive and retain timely payment in full on such Receivable. In consideration of and simultaneously with the repurchase of the Receivable, the Seller shall remit, or cause Exeter to remit, to the Collection Account the Purchase Amount in the manner specified in Section 5.6 and the Holding Trust shall execute such assignments and other documents reasonably requested by such person in order to effect such repurchase. The sole remedy of the Issuer, the Holding Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer or the Noteholders with respect to a breach of representations and warranties pursuant to Section 3.1 and the agreement contained in this Section shall be the repurchase of Receivables pursuant to this Section, subject to the conditions contained herein, or to enforce the obligation of Exeter to the Seller to repurchase such Receivables pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (with respect to the EFLLC Receivables) or to enforce the obligation of the Representation Provider to the Seller to repurchase such Receivables pursuant to the Sale Agreement (with respect to the EFIT Receivables). Neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee shall have a duty to conduct any affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any conditions requiring the repurchase of any Receivable pursuant to this Section. Except as expressly set forth in the Basic Documents, neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee shall have any duty to conduct an affirmative investigation as to the eligibility of any Receivable for purposes of this Agreement or to enforce the repurchase obligations of the Seller.

(b) Pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement, the Seller conveyed to the Issuer all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in its rights and benefits, but none of its obligations or burdens, under the Purchase Agreement and the Sale Agreement including the Seller’s rights under the Purchase Agreement and the Sale Agreement and the delivery requirements, representations and

warranties and the cure or repurchase obligations of Exeter thereunder. The Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Issuer that such assignments are valid, enforceable and effective to permit the Issuer to enforce such obligations of Exeter under the Purchase Agreement and the Sale Agreement. Any purchase by Exeter pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or the Sale Agreement shall be deemed a purchase by the Seller pursuant to this Section 3.2 and the definition of Purchased Receivable.

SECTION 3.3 Custody of Receivable Files.

(a) In connection with the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement and simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall enter into the Custodian Agreement pursuant to which the Indenture Trustee shall revocably appoint the Custodian, and the Custodian shall accept such appointment, to act as the agent of the Indenture Trustee as custodian of the Receivable Files in its possession or control, which shall be delivered to the Custodian as agent of the Indenture Trustee on or before the Closing Date.

(b) If the Indenture Trustee, or its agent, as the case may be, is acting as the Custodian pursuant to Section 3(f), Section 8 or Section 9(d) of the Custodian Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have assumed the obligations of the Custodian (except for any liabilities incurred by the predecessor Custodian) specified in the Custodian Agreement until such time as a successor Custodian has been appointed. Upon payment in full of any Receivable, the Servicer will notify the Custodian pursuant to a written request for release of documents in the form attached as Exhibit B to the Custodian Agreement (which written request shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payments which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 4.1 have been so deposited) and shall request delivery of the Receivable and Receivable File to the Servicer. Upon the sale of any Receivable pursuant to Section 4.3(a), the Servicer will notify the Custodian pursuant to a written request for release of documents in the form attached as Exhibit B to the Custodian Agreement (which written request shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payments which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account have been so deposited) and shall request delivery of the Receivable and Receivable File to the Servicer. From time to time as appropriate for servicing and enforcing any Receivable, the Custodian shall, upon written request for release of documents in the form attached as Exhibit B to the Custodian Agreement, cause the original Receivable and the related Receivable File to be released to the Servicer. The Servicer’s receipt of a Receivable and/or Receivable File shall obligate the Servicer to return such Receivable and such Receivable File to the Custodian when its need by the Servicer has ceased unless such Receivable is repurchased as described in Section 3.2, 4.2 or 4.7. No such written request for release of documents in the form attached as Exhibit B to the Custodian Agreement under any of the foregoing circumstances will be required to be delivered for so long as Exeter is the Servicer.

(c) The Servicer shall ensure that the Custodian shall be provided full electronic access to the records of the third party title intermediary concerning certificates of title that are maintained in electronic form. The Custodian shall certify any electronic certificate of title by confirming the electronic information available from the third party title intermediary against the electronic information received from the Servicer with respect to electronic certificates of title. Wherever in

this Agreement or in the other Basic Documents it states that the Custodian has possession of Receivable Files, with respect to electronic certificates of title, it shall mean that the Custodian has received information sufficient to perform the verification set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. The Custodian will rely on, but cannot be responsible for, verify or confirm, the content or accuracy of any information provided by the third party title intermediary.

SECTION 3.4 Dispute Resolution.

(a) If the Servicer, the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or a Noteholder (the “Requesting Party”) requests that the Seller and/or Exeter repurchase a Receivable due to an alleged breach of a representation and warranty in Section 5.1 of the Purchase Agreement, Section 5.1 of the Sale Agreement or in Section 3.2(a) (each, a “Repurchase Request”), and the Repurchase Request has not been resolved within one-hundred eighty (180) days of the receipt of notice of the Repurchase Request by the Seller or Exeter, as the case may be (which resolution may take the form of a repurchase of the related Receivable by the Seller or Exeter, as applicable, a withdrawal of the related Repurchase Request by the related Requesting Party or a cure of the condition that led to the related breach in the manner set forth herein or in the Purchase Agreement or the Sale Agreement, as applicable), the Requesting Party may refer the matter, in its discretion, to either mediation (including non-binding arbitration) or binding third-party arbitration by providing notice to Exeter and the Seller within ninety (90) days after the date on which the Form 10-D is filed that relates to the Collection Period during which the related 180-day period ended. The Seller and Exeter agree to participate in the dispute resolution method selected by the Requesting Party.

(b) If the Requesting Party selects mediation (including non-binding arbitration) for dispute resolution:

(i) The mediation will be administered by the ADR Organization using its ADR Rules. However, if any ADR Rules are inconsistent with the procedures for mediation stated in this Section 3.4(b), the procedures in this Section 3.4(b) will control.

(ii) A single mediator will be selected by the ADR Organization from a list of neutrals maintained by it according to the ADR Rules. The mediator must be impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York and have at least fifteen (15) years of experience in commercial litigation and, if possible, consumer finance or asset-backed securitization matters.

(iii) The parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to begin the mediation within fifteen (15) Business Days of the selection of the mediator and to conclude the mediation within thirty (30) days of the start of the mediation.

(iv) Expenses of the mediation will be allocated to the parties as mutually agreed by them as part of the mediation.

(v) If the parties fail to agree at the completion of the mediation, the Requesting Party may refer the Repurchase Request to binding arbitration under this Section 3.4 or adjudicate the dispute in court.

(i) The arbitration will be administered by the ADR Organization using its ADR Rules. However, if any ADR Rules are inconsistent with the procedures for arbitration stated in this Section 3.4(c), the procedures in this Section 3.4(c) will control.

(ii) A single arbitrator will be selected by the ADR Organization from a list of neutrals maintained by it according to the ADR Rules. The arbitrator must be an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York and have at least fifteen (15) years of experience in commercial litigation and, if possible, consumer finance or asset-backed securitization matters. The arbitrator will be independent and impartial and will comply with the Code of Ethics for Arbitrators in Commercial Disputes in effect at the time of the arbitration. Before accepting an appointment, the arbitrator must promptly disclose any circumstances likely to create a reasonable inference of bias or conflict of interest or likely to preclude completion of the proceedings within the stated time schedule. The arbitrator may be removed by the ADR Organization for cause consisting of actual bias, conflict of interest or other serious potential for conflict.

(iii) The arbitrator will have the authority to schedule, hear and determine any motions, according to New York law, and will do so at the motion of any party. Discovery will be completed within thirty (30) days of selection of the arbitrator and will be limited for each party to two (2) witness depositions not to exceed five hours, two (2) interrogatories, one (1) document request and one (1) request for admissions. However, the arbitrator may grant additional discovery on a showing of good cause that the additional discovery is reasonable and necessary. Briefs will be limited to no more than ten (10) pages each, and will be limited to initial statements of the case, motions and a pre-hearing brief. The evidentiary hearing on the merits will start no later than sixty (60) days after selection of the arbitrator and will proceed for no more than six (6) consecutive Business Days with equal time allocated to each party for the presentation of evidence and cross examination. The arbitrator may allow additional time for discovery and hearings on a showing of good cause or due to unavoidable delays.

(iv) The arbitrator will make its final determination no later than ninety (90) days after its selection. The arbitrator will resolve the dispute according to the terms of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents, and may not modify or change this Agreement or the other Basic Documents in any way. The arbitrator will not have the power to award punitive damages or consequential damages in any arbitration conducted by

them. In its final determination, the arbitrator will determine and award the expenses of the arbitration (including filing fees, the fees of the arbitrator, expense of any record or transcript of the arbitration and administrative fees) to the parties in its reasonable discretion. The determination of the arbitrator will be in writing and counterpart copies will be promptly delivered to the parties. The final determination of the arbitrator in binding arbitration will be final and non-appealable, except for actions to confirm or vacate the determination permitted under federal or State law, and may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(v) By selecting binding arbitration, the Requesting Party is giving up the right to xxx in court, including the right to a trial by jury.

(vi) The Requesting Party may not bring a putative or certificated class action to arbitration. If this waiver of class action rights is found to be unenforceable for any reason, the Requesting Party agrees that it will bring its claims in a court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) For each mediation or arbitration:

(i) Any mediation or arbitration will be held in New York, New York at the offices of the mediator or arbitrator or at another location selected by the Seller or Exeter. Any party or witness may participate by teleconference or video conference.

(ii) The Seller, Exeter and the Requesting Party will have the right to seek provisional relief from a competent court of law, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or attachment order, if such relief is available by law.

(iii) Neither the Seller nor Exeter will be required to produce personally identifiable customer information for purposes of any mediation or arbitration. The existence and details of any unresolved Repurchase Request, any informal meetings, mediations or arbitration proceedings, the nature and amount of any relief sought or granted, any offers or statements made and any discovery taken in the proceeding will be confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose in any other mediation, arbitration, litigation or other proceeding. The parties will keep this information confidential and will not disclose or discuss it with any third party (other than a party’s attorneys, experts, accountants and other advisors, as reasonably required in connection with the mediation or arbitration proceeding under this Section 3.4), except as required by law, regulatory requirement or court order. If a party to a mediation or arbitration proceeding receives a subpoena or other request for information from a third party (other than a governmental regulatory body) for confidential information of the other party to the mediation or arbitration proceeding, the recipient will promptly notify the other party and will provide the other

party with the opportunity to object to the production of its confidential information.

ARTICLE 4

Administration and Servicing of Receivables

SECTION 4.1 Duties of the Servicer and the Backup Servicer.

(a) The Servicer is hereby authorized to act as agent for the Issuer and the Holding Trust and in such capacity shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables, and perform the other actions required by the Servicer under this Agreement. The Servicer agrees that its servicing of the Receivables shall be carried out substantially in compliance with its Customary Servicing Practices, as such practices, policies or procedures, as applicable, may be updated from time to time by the Servicer. The Servicer’s duties shall include, without limitation, collecting and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on the Receivables, investigating delinquencies, billing Obligors on a monthly basis, reporting any required tax information to Obligors, monitoring the collateral, complying with the terms of the Lockbox Account Agreement, accounting for collections and furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Indenture Trustee with respect to distributions and performing the other duties specified herein.

The Servicer, or if Exeter is no longer the Servicer, Exeter, at the request of the Servicer, shall also administer and enforce all rights and responsibilities of the holder of the Receivables provided for in the Dealer Agreements (and shall maintain possession of the Dealer Agreements, to the extent it is necessary to do so), the Dealer Assignments and the Insurance Policies, to the extent that such Dealer Agreements, Dealer Assignments and Insurance Policies relate to the Receivables, the Financed Vehicles or the Obligors. The Servicer shall substantially comply with its Customary Servicing Practices and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such managing, servicing, administration and collection that it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered by the Holding Trust to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Holding Trust, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables and with respect to the Financed Vehicles; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not, except pursuant to an order from a court of competent jurisdiction, release an Obligor from payment of any unpaid amount under any Receivable or waive the right to collect the unpaid balance of any Receivable from the Obligor, except in accordance with the Servicer’s Customary Servicing Practices or as otherwise permitted under this Agreement.

The Servicer is hereby authorized to commence, in its own name or in the name of the Holding Trust, a legal proceeding to enforce a Receivable pursuant to Section 4.3 or to commence or participate in any other legal proceeding (including, without limitation, a bankruptcy proceeding) relating to or involving a Receivable, an Obligor or a Financed Vehicle. If the Servicer commences or participates in such a legal proceeding in its own name, the Holding Trust shall thereupon be deemed to have automatically assigned such Receivable to the Servicer solely for purposes of commencing or participating in any such proceeding as a party or claimant, and the

Servicer is authorized and empowered by the Holding Trust to execute and deliver in the Servicer’s name any notices, demands, claims, complaints, responses, affidavits or other documents or instruments in connection with any such proceeding. The Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with any limited powers of attorney and other documents which the Servicer may reasonably request and which the Servicer deems necessary or appropriate and take any other steps which the Servicer may deem necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

As set forth in Section 9.3, in the event the Servicer fails to perform its obligations hereunder, the Backup Servicer shall be responsible for the Servicer’s duties in this Agreement as if it were the Servicer, provided that the Backup Servicer shall not be liable for the Servicer’s breach of its obligations.

(b) The Backup Servicer shall have the following duties: (i) prior to the Closing Date, the Backup Servicer shall have conducted an on-site visit of the Servicer’s operations in connection with this or similar agreements, (ii) the Backup Servicer may conduct periodic on-site visits not more than once every 12 months to meet with appropriate operations personnel to discuss any changes in processes and procedures that have occurred since the last visit, (iii) prior to the Closing Date, the Backup Servicer shall have completed all data-mapping, and (iv) not more than once per year, the Backup Servicer shall update or amend the data-mapping by effecting a data-map refresh upon receipt of written notice from the Servicer specifying updated or amended fields, if any, in (a) fields in the Monthly Tape or (b) fields confirmed in the original data-mapping referred to in clause (iii) above. Each on-site visit shall be at the cost of Exeter.

SECTION 4.2 Collection of Receivable Payments; Modifications of Receivables; Lockbox Account Agreement.

(a) The Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Receivables as and when the same shall become due, substantially in compliance with its Customary Servicing Practices, and in accordance with the applicable terms of the Dealer Agreements, the Dealer Assignments, the Insurance Policies and the Other Conveyed Property. The Servicer is authorized in its discretion to waive any prepayment charge, late payment charge or any other similar fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing any Receivable.

(b) The Servicer may at any time agree to a Permitted Modification of a Receivable (i) in order to, not more than once every six months, change the Obligor’s regular monthly due date to a date that shall in no event be later than 30 days after the original monthly due date of that Receivable, (ii) in order to grant extensions and payment modifications, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, (iii) following a partial prepayment of principal, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices or (iv) following the Obligor’s reinstatement based on local laws, if the Servicer believes in good faith that such extension, modification or amendment is necessary to avoid a default on such Receivable, will maximize the amount to be received by the Issuer with respect to such Receivable, and is otherwise in the best interests of the Issuer.

(c) The Servicer may grant other Permitted Modifications to a Receivable (in addition to those modifications permitted by Section 4.2(b) hereof), in accordance with its Customary

Servicing Practices if the Servicer believes in good faith that such extension, modification or amendment is necessary to avoid a default on such Receivable, will maximize the amount to be received by the Issuer with respect to such Receivable, and is otherwise in the best interests of the Issuer; provided, however, that under such Permitted Modification:

(i) The aggregate period of all extensions on a Receivable shall not exceed eight months, provided, further, that any extension on a Receivable with respect to which the related Obligor’s ability to make on-time payments was adversely affected by a major disaster (as declared by the President of the United States), shall not be included in the calculation of the aggregate period of all extensions for purposes of this Section 4.2(c)(i) with respect to such Receivable;

(ii) In no event may a Receivable be extended beyond the Collection Period immediately preceding the latest Final Scheduled Distribution Date; and

(iii) The aggregate period of all payment reductions on a Receivable shall not exceed six months.

(d) The Servicer, acting as agent for the Issuer pursuant to the Lockbox Account Agreement, shall use its best efforts to notify or direct Obligors to make all payments on the Receivables, whether by check or by direct debit of the Obligor’s bank account, to be made directly to one or more Lockbox Banks pursuant to the Lockbox Account Agreement. The Servicer shall use its best efforts to notify or direct any Lockbox Bank to deposit all payments on the Receivables in the Lockbox Account no later than the Business Day after receipt, and to cause all amounts credited to the Lockbox Account on account of such payments to be transferred to the Collection Account no later than two Business Days after receipt of such payments. The Lockbox Account shall be a demand deposit account held by the Lockbox Bank.

Prior to the Closing Date, the Servicer shall have notified each Obligor that makes its payments on the Receivables by check to make such payments thereafter directly to the Lockbox Bank (except in the case of Obligors that have already been making such payments to the Lockbox Bank), and shall have provided each such Obligor with remittance invoices in order to enable such Obligors to make such payments directly to the Lockbox Bank for deposit into the Lockbox Account, and the Servicer will continue, not less often than every three months, to so notify those Obligors who have failed to make payments to the Lockbox Bank.

Notwithstanding any Lockbox Account Agreement, or any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Lockbox Account Agreement, the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Issuer, the Holding Trust, the Indenture Trustee and Noteholders for servicing and administering the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any successor Servicer for so long as the Lockbox Bank is performing its obligations pursuant to the terms of the Lockbox Account Agreement.

In the event of a termination of the Servicer, the successor Servicer shall assume all of the rights and obligations of the outgoing Servicer under the Lockbox Account Agreement subject to the terms hereof. In such event, the successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed all of the

outgoing Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the outgoing Servicer as a party to the Lockbox Account Agreement to the same extent as if the Lockbox Account Agreement had been assigned to the successor Servicer, except that the outgoing Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations on the part of the outgoing Servicer to the Lockbox Bank under the Lockbox Account Agreement. The outgoing Servicer shall, upon request of the Indenture Trustee, but at the expense of the outgoing Servicer, deliver to the successor Servicer all documents and records relating to the Lockbox Account Agreement and an accounting of amounts collected and held by the Lockbox Bank and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Lockbox Account Agreement to the successor Servicer. In the event that the Majority Noteholders elect to change the identity of the Lockbox Bank, the outgoing Servicer, at its expense, shall cause the Lockbox Bank to deliver, at the direction of the Majority Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee or a successor Lockbox Bank, all documents and records relating to the Receivables and all amounts held (or thereafter received) by the Lockbox Bank (together with an accounting of such amounts) and shall otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the lockbox arrangements and the Servicer shall notify the Obligors to make payments to the lockbox arrangements established by the successor.

(e) The Servicer shall remit all payments by or on behalf of the Obligors received directly by the Servicer to the Lockbox Bank as soon as practicable, but in no event later than two Business Days after identification thereof, and such amounts shall be deposited into the Lockbox Account and transferred from the Lockbox Account to the Collection Account in accordance with Section 4.2(d) hereof.

(f) Exeter shall not cause or permit the substitution of the Financed Vehicle relating to a Receivable unless: (i) the substitution is a replacement of the Financed Vehicle originally financed under the related Receivable; (ii) the Financed Vehicle originally financed under the related Receivable was (x) insured under an Insurance Policy as required under Section 4.4(a) at the time of a casualty loss that is treated as a total loss under such Insurance Policy, (y) deemed to be a “lemon” pursuant to applicable state law and repurchased by the related Dealer or (z) the subject of an order by a court of competent jurisdiction directing Exeter to substitute another vehicle under the related Receivable; (iii) the related Receivable is not more than 30 days delinquent; (iv) the Obligor is deemed to be in “good standing” by the Servicer and is not in breach of any requirement under the related Receivable; (v) the replacement Financed Vehicle has a book value (N.A.D.A.) at least equal to the book value (N.A.D.A.) of the Financed Vehicle that is being replaced, measured immediately before the casualty loss or replacement by the Dealer and (vi) as of the date of such substitution, the replacement Financed Vehicle’s mileage is no greater than the mileage on the Financed Vehicle that is being replaced; provided, however, that if the substitution is made pursuant to clause (ii)(z), above, clauses (iii) through (vi) inclusive, shall not be applicable. Exeter shall not cause or permit the substitution of Financed Vehicles relating to Receivables having an original aggregate Principal Balance greater than two percent (2.00%) of the Original Pool Balance, (the “Substitution Limit”). In the event that the Substitution Limit is exceeded for any reason, Exeter shall, on or before the next following Accounting Date, repurchase a sufficient number of such Receivables to cause the aggregate original Principal Balances of such Receivables to be less than the Substitution Limit.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the other Basic Documents or in any other document, neither the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, nor the Seller (nor

any agent of either person) shall be authorized or empowered to acquire any other investments, reinvest any proceeds of the Issuer or the Holding Trust or engage in activities other than the foregoing, and, in particular neither the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, nor the Seller (nor any agent of either person) shall be authorized or empowered to do anything that would cause the Holding Trust or the Issuer to fail to qualify as a fixed investment trust described in Treasury Regulation section 301.7701-4(c) that is treated as a grantor trust under subtitle A, chapter 1, subchapter J, part I, subpart E of the Code.

SECTION 4.3 Realization upon Receivables.

(a) Consistent with its Customary Servicing Practices, the Servicer shall use its best efforts to repossess (or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of) and liquidate any Financed Vehicle securing a Receivable with respect to which the Servicer has determined that payments thereunder are not likely to be resumed, as soon as is practicable; provided, however, that the Servicer may elect not to repossess a Financed Vehicle if in its good faith judgment it determines that the proceeds ultimately recoverable with respect to such Receivable would be increased by forbearance. The Servicer is authorized to follow such customary practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable, consistent with the standard of care required by Section 4.1, which practices and procedures may include reasonable efforts to realize upon any recourse to Dealers, the sale of the related Financed Vehicle at public or private sale, the submission of claims under an Insurance Policy and other actions by the Servicer in order to realize upon such a Receivable. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which the Financed Vehicle shall have suffered damage, the Servicer shall not expend funds in connection with any repair of such Financed Vehicle unless it expects in its sole discretion, that such repair shall increase the proceeds of liquidation of the related Receivable by an amount greater than the amount of such expenses. The Servicer, in its sole discretion, may in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices sell any Receivable’s deficiency balance. All amounts received upon liquidation of a Financed Vehicle shall be remitted directly by the Servicer to the Lockbox Account as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Business Day after receipt thereof. The Servicer shall be entitled to recover all reasonable expenses incurred by it in the course of repossessing and liquidating a Financed Vehicle into cash proceeds, but only out of Liquidation Proceeds received during the Collection Period in which such expenses were incurred or, to the extent not reimbursed, from the Liquidation Proceeds of such Financed Vehicle if received during a subsequent Collection Period, with any deficiency obtained from the Obligor or any amounts received from the related Dealer, which amounts in reimbursement may be retained by the Servicer (and shall not be required to be deposited as provided in Section 4.2(e)) to the extent of such expenses. The Servicer shall pay on behalf of the Holding Trust any personal property taxes assessed on repossessed Financed Vehicles. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of any such tax from Net Liquidation Proceeds with respect to such Receivable. In addition, the Servicer may enter into settlement arrangements relating to the collection of matured loan balances to the extent it believes such arrangements will maximize recoveries and will apply any such amounts collected in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices.

(b) If the Servicer, or if Exeter is no longer the Servicer, Exeter at the request of the Servicer, elects to commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Dealer Agreement or Dealer Assignment, the act of commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment from the Holding Trust to the Servicer, or to Exeter at the request of the Servicer, of the rights under such

Dealer Agreement or Dealer Assignment for purposes of collection only. If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer or Exeter, as appropriate, may not enforce a Dealer Agreement or Dealer Assignment on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest or a Person entitled to enforce the Dealer Agreement or Dealer Assignment, the Owner Trustee and/or the Indenture Trustee, at Exeter’s expense, or the Seller, at the Seller’s expense, shall take such steps as the Servicer deems (or Exeter, at the request of the Servicer, deems) reasonably necessary to enforce the Dealer Agreement or Dealer Assignment, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Seller or of the Holding Trust and the Owner Trustee and/or the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. All amounts recovered shall be remitted directly by the Servicer as provided in Section 4.2(e).

SECTION 4.4 Insurance.

(a) The Servicer shall require, in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices, that each Financed Vehicle be insured by the related Obligor at origination of the related Receivable under the Insurance Policies referred to in Paragraph 12 of the Schedule of Representations, and shall monitor the status of such physical loss and damage insurance coverage thereafter in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices. Each Receivable requires the Obligor to maintain such physical loss and damage insurance and permits the holder of such Receivable to obtain physical loss and damage insurance at the expense of the Obligor if the Obligor fails to maintain such insurance. If the Servicer shall determine that an Obligor has failed to obtain or maintain a physical loss and damage Insurance Policy covering the related Financed Vehicle which satisfies the conditions set forth in Paragraph 12 of the Schedule of Representations (including, without limitation, during the repossession of such Financed Vehicle) the Servicer may enforce the rights of the holder of the Receivable under the Receivable to require the Obligor to obtain such physical loss and damage insurance in accordance with its Customary Servicing Practices. The Servicer may maintain a vendor’s single interest or other collateral protection insurance policy with respect to all Financed Vehicles (“Collateral Insurance”) which policy shall by its terms insure against physical loss and damage in the event any Obligor fails to maintain physical loss and damage insurance with respect to the related Financed Vehicle. The Servicer may cause itself or the Indenture Trustee to be named as named insured under all policies of Collateral Insurance. Costs incurred by the Servicer in maintaining such Collateral Insurance shall be paid by the Servicer.

(b) The Servicer may, if an Obligor fails to obtain or maintain a physical loss and damage Insurance Policy, obtain insurance with respect to the related Financed Vehicle and advance on behalf of such Obligor, as required under the terms of the insurance policy, the premiums for such insurance (such insurance being referred to herein as “Force-Placed Insurance”). All policies of Force-Placed Insurance shall be endorsed with clauses providing for loss payable to the Servicer. Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining such Force-Placed Insurance shall only be recoverable out of premiums paid by the Obligors or Net Liquidation Proceeds with respect to the Receivable, as provided in Section 4.4(c).

(c) In connection with any Force-Placed Insurance obtained hereunder, the Servicer may, in the manner and to the extent permitted by applicable law, require the Obligors to repay the entire premium to the Servicer. In no event shall the Servicer include the amount of the premium in the Amount Financed under the Receivable. For all purposes of this Agreement, the

Insurance Add-On Amount with respect to any Receivable having Force-Placed Insurance will be treated as a separate obligation of the Obligor and will not be added to the Principal Balance of such Receivable, and amounts allocable thereto will not be available for distribution on the Notes and the Certificates. The Servicer shall retain and separately administer the right to receive payments from Obligors with respect to Insurance Add-On Amounts or rebates of Forced-Placed Insurance premiums. If an Obligor makes a payment with respect to a Receivable having Force‑Placed Insurance, but the Servicer is unable to determine whether the payment is allocable to the Receivable or to the Insurance Add-On Amount, the payment shall be applied first to any unpaid Scheduled Receivables Payments and then to the Insurance Add-On Amount. Net Liquidation Proceeds on any Receivable will be used first to pay the Principal Balance and accrued interest on such Receivable and then to pay the related Insurance Add-On Amount. If an Obligor under a Receivable with respect to which the Servicer has placed Force-Placed Insurance fails to make scheduled payments of such Insurance Add-On Amount as due, and the Servicer has determined that eventual payment of the Insurance Add-On Amount is unlikely, the Servicer may, but shall not be required to, purchase such Receivable from the Holding Trust for the Purchase Amount on any subsequent Determination Date. Any such Receivable, and any Receivable with respect to which the Servicer has placed Force-Placed Insurance which has been paid in full (excluding any Insurance Add-On Amounts) will be assigned to the Servicer.

(d) The Servicer may xxx to enforce or collect upon the Insurance Policies, in its own name, if possible, or as agent of the Holding Trust. If the Servicer elects to commence a legal proceeding to enforce an Insurance Policy, the act of commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment of the rights of the Holding Trust under such Insurance Policy to the Servicer for purposes of collection only. If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce an Insurance Policy on the grounds that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Insurance Policy, the Owner Trustee and/or the Indenture Trustee, at the Servicer’s expense (if the Servicer is Exeter), or the Seller, at the Seller’s expense, shall take such steps as the Servicer deems necessary to enforce such Insurance Policy, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Holding Trust and the Owner Trustee and/or the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders.

SECTION 4.5 Maintenance of Security Interests in Vehicles.

(a) Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicer shall take such steps on behalf of the Holding Trust as are necessary to maintain perfection of the security interest created by each Receivable in the related Financed Vehicle, including, but not limited to, obtaining the execution by the Obligors and the recording, registering, filing, re‑recording, re-filing, and re-registering of all security agreements, financing statements and continuation statements as are necessary to maintain the security interest granted by the Obligors under the respective Receivables. The Indenture Trustee hereby authorizes the Servicer, and the Servicer agrees, to take any and all steps necessary to re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Holding Trust as necessary because of the relocation of a Financed Vehicle or for any other reason; provided, that the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to monitor the security interest granted by the Obligors under the respective Receivables. In the event that the assignment of a Receivable to the Holding Trust is insufficient, without a notation on the related Financed Vehicle’s certificate of title, or without fulfilling any additional administrative requirements under the laws of the state in which the Financed Vehicle is located, to perfect a security interest in the related Financed Vehicle

in favor of the Holding Trust, the Servicer hereby agrees that the designation of Exeter as the secured party on the Lien Certificate is in its capacity as Servicer as agent of the Holding Trust.

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall take or cause to be taken such action as may, in the Opinion of Counsel to the Majority Noteholders, be necessary to perfect or re-perfect the security interests in the Financed Vehicles securing the Receivables in the name of the Holding Trust by amending the title documents of such Financed Vehicles or by such other reasonable means as may, in the Opinion of Counsel to the Majority Noteholders, be necessary or prudent.

Exeter hereby agrees to pay all expenses related to such perfection or reperfection and to take all action necessary therefor. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee or any successor Servicer be required to expend funds in connection with this Section 4.5 that will not otherwise be reimbursed to it. To the extent that Exeter fails to reimburse the Indenture Trustee or any successor Servicer for any such amounts, such expenses shall be reimbursed pursuant to Section 5.7(a)(ii) hereof. Exeter hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its attorney-in-fact to take any and all steps required to be performed by Exeter pursuant to this Section 4.5(b) (it being understood that and agreed that the Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to take such steps with respect to all perfection or reperfection, except as pursuant to the Basic Documents to which it is a party and to which Exeter has paid all expenses), including execution of Lien Certificates or any other documents in the name and stead of Exeter, and the Indenture Trustee hereby accepts such appointment.

SECTION 4.6 Covenants, Representations, and Warranties of Servicer.

(a) By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, the initial Servicer makes the following representations, warranties and covenants on which the Indenture Trustee relies in accepting the Receivables and authenticating the Notes:

(i) Liens in Force. The Financed Vehicle securing each Receivable shall not be released in whole or in part from the security interest granted by the Receivable, except upon payment in full of the Receivable or as otherwise contemplated herein;

(ii) No Impairment. The Servicer shall do nothing to impair the rights of the Issuer, the Holding Trust or the Noteholders in the Receivables, the Dealer Agreements, the Dealer Assignments, the Insurance Policies or the Other Conveyed Property except as otherwise expressly provided herein;

(iii) No Amendments. The Servicer shall not extend or otherwise amend the terms of any Receivable, except in accordance with Section 4.2;

(iv) Restrictions on Liens. The Servicer shall not (A) create, incur or suffer to exist, or agree to create, incur or suffer to exist, or consent to cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) the creation, incurrence or existence of any Lien or restriction on transferability of the Receivables except for the Lien in favor of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders and the restrictions on transferability imposed by this Agreement or (B) file under the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction any financing statement which names Exeter or the Servicer as a debtor,

or sign any security agreement authorizing any secured party thereunder to file such financing statement, with respect to the Receivables, except in each case any such instrument solely securing the rights and preserving the Lien of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders; and

(v) Servicing System. The Servicer shall promptly notify the Backup Servicer of any material changes which the Servicer makes to its servicing system and provide sufficient detail with respect thereto to the Backup Servicer as the Backup Servicer may require.

(b) The initial Servicer represents, warrants and covenants as of the Closing Date as to itself that the representations and warranties set forth on the Schedule of Representations attached hereto as Schedule B are true and correct; provided that such representations and warranties contained therein and herein shall not apply to any entity other than Exeter.

SECTION 4.7 Purchase of Receivables Upon Breach of Covenant. Upon (i) discovery by the Servicer or (ii) the receipt of written notice or actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, a Responsible Officer of the Owner Trustee or a Responsible Officer of the Backup Servicer, of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Sections 4.5(a) or 4.6 hereof, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the others; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not affect any obligation of Exeter as Servicer under this Section. As of the second Accounting Date following its discovery or actual knowledge or receipt of notice, as applicable, of any breach of any covenant set forth in Sections 4.5(a) or 4.6 hereof which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Noteholders in any Receivable (including any Liquidated Receivable) (or, at Servicer’s election, the first Accounting Date so following) or the related Financed Vehicle, Servicer shall, unless such breach shall have been cured in all material respects, purchase from the Holding Trust the Receivable affected by such breach and, on the related Determination Date, Servicer shall pay the related Purchase Amount. Any such breach will be deemed not to have a material and adverse effect on the interests of the Noteholders in the Receivable if such breach has not affected the ability of the Holding Trust or Noteholders to receive and retain timely payment in full on such Receivable. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of Servicer to purchase any Receivable (including any Liquidated Receivable) with respect to which such a breach has occurred and is continuing shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy against Servicer for such breach available to the Noteholders, the Owner Trustee, the Backup Servicer or the Indenture Trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Servicer will not be required to repurchase Receivables due solely to the Servicer’s not having received Lien Certificates that have been properly applied for from the Registrar of Titles in the applicable states for such Receivables unless (i) such Lien Certificates shall not have been received with respect to Receivables with Principal Balances which total more than 1.0% of the Aggregate Principal Balance as of the 180th day after the Closing Date, in which case Servicer shall be required to repurchase a sufficient number of such Receivables to cause the aggregate Principal Balances of the remaining Receivables for which no such Lien Certificate shall have been received to be no greater than 1.0% of the Aggregate Principal Balance as of such date or (ii) such Lien Certificates shall not have been received as of the 240th day after the Closing Date. Except as expressly set forth in the Basic Documents, neither the Owner Trustee nor the Indenture Trustee shall have any duty to conduct an affirmative investigation as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase of any Receivable

pursuant to this Section 4.7, the eligibility of any Receivable for purposes of this Agreement or to enforce the repurchase obligations of Servicer. This Section shall survive the termination or assignment of this Agreement and the earlier removal or resignation of the Indenture Trustee and/or the Backup Servicer.

SECTION 4.8 Total Servicing Fee; Payment of Certain Expenses by Servicer. On each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive out of the Collection Account the Base Servicing Fee and any Supplemental Servicing Fee for the related Collection Period (together, the “Servicing Fee”) pursuant to Section 5.7. The Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement (including taxes imposed on the Servicer, and expenses incurred in connection with distributions and reports made by the Servicer to the Noteholders). The Servicer shall be liable for (i) the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant and (ii) to the extent not paid or reimbursed on any Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.7(a) hereof or Section 5.6 of the Indenture, as applicable, the fees, expenses and indemnification amounts due to the Owner Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Custodian and the Lockbox Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Servicer shall not be Exeter, a successor to Exeter as Servicer, including the Backup Servicer permitted by Section 9.3, shall not be liable for taxes levied or assessed against the Issuer or the Holding Trust or claims against the Issuer or the Holding Trust in respect of indemnification, or the fees, expenses and indemnification amounts referred to above.

SECTION 4.9 Servicer’s Certificate. No later than noon Eastern time on each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver (facsimile or other electronic delivery being acceptable) to the Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee the monthly Servicer’s Certificate. The Servicer will also make available the Servicer’s Certificate to each Rating Agency on the same date the Servicer’s Certificate is publicly available (provided that if the Servicer’s Certificate is not made publicly available, the Servicer will deliver it to each Rating Agency, no later than the 15th of each month (or if not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day)). The Servicer’s Certificate will be executed by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer and contain among other things: (i) all information necessary to enable the Indenture Trustee to make the distributions required by Sections 5.7(a) and 5.7(b), (ii) a listing of all Purchased Receivables purchased by the Servicer as of the related Accounting Date, identifying the Receivables so purchased by the Servicer, (iii) all information necessary to enable the Backup Servicer to perform the actions specified in Section 4.13, (iv) all information necessary to enable the Indenture Trustee to send the statements to Noteholders required by Section 5.9 and (v) for the first Servicer’s Certificate, the disclosure required by Rule 4(c)(1)(ii) of Regulation RR. Receivables purchased by the Servicer or by the Seller on the related Accounting Date and each Receivable which became a Liquidated Receivable or which was paid in full during the related Collection Period shall be identified by account number (as set forth in the Schedule of Receivables).

The Seller or the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, the Backup Servicer, the Servicer or the Seller (as applicable) and each Rating Agency promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, written notice in an officer’s certificate of any event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Termination Event under any other clause of Section 9.1.

(c) The Servicer will deliver to the Issuer, on or before March 31 of each year, beginning on March 31, 2021, a report regarding the Servicer’s assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria specified in Exhibit B as applicable to the Servicer during the immediately preceding calendar year or such other criteria as agreed to by the Issuer, the Seller and the Servicer, as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB.

SECTION 4.12 Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding Receivables. The Servicer shall provide to representatives of the Backup Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee reasonable access to the documentation regarding the Receivables. In each case, such access shall be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours. Nothing in this Section shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section.

SECTION 4.13 Monthly Tape. No later than the second Business Day after each Distribution Date, the Servicer will deliver to the Backup Servicer an electronic file in a form acceptable to the Backup Servicer containing all information necessary to allow the Backup Servicer to perform the actions set forth hereunder (the “Monthly Tape”).

The Backup Servicer shall certify to the Indenture Trustee that it has verified the Servicer’s Certificate in accordance with this Section and shall notify the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee of any discrepancies, in each case, on or before the fifth Business Day following the receipt of the Monthly Tape. In the event that the Backup Servicer reports any discrepancies, the Servicer and the Backup Servicer shall attempt to reconcile such discrepancies prior to the next succeeding Distribution Date, but in the absence of a reconciliation, the Servicer’s Certificate shall control for the purpose of calculations and distributions with respect to the next succeeding Distribution Date. In the event that the Backup Servicer and the Servicer are unable to reconcile discrepancies with respect to a Servicer’s Certificate by the next succeeding Distribution Date, the Servicer shall cause the Independent Accountants, at the Servicer’s expense, to audit the Servicer’s Certificate and, prior to the last day of the month after the month in which such Servicer’s Certificate was delivered, reconcile the discrepancies. The effect, if any, of such reconciliation shall be reflected in the Servicer’s Certificate for such next succeeding Determination Date. In addition, upon the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event the Servicer shall, if so requested by the Controlling Party (acting at the written direction of the Majority Noteholders), deliver to the Backup Servicer or any successor Servicer its Collection Records and its Monthly Records

Other than the duties specifically set forth in this Agreement, the Backup Servicer shall have no obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, to supervise, verify, monitor or administer the performance of the Servicer. The Backup Servicer shall have no liability for any actions taken or omitted by the Servicer. In the performance of its duties hereunder, the Backup Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Servicer’s Certificate or written notice with respect to the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default or other event which affects the verification obligations of the Backup Servicer, with no duty to independently verify the information therein or confirm whether any such event has occurred or otherwise make any determination with respect thereto.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Monthly Tape or the Servicer’s Certificate does not contain sufficient information for the Backup Servicer to perform any action specified in this section, the Backup Servicer shall promptly notify the Servicer of any additional information to be delivered by the Servicer to the Backup Servicer, and the Backup Servicer and the Servicer shall mutually agree upon the form thereof; provided, however, that the Backup Servicer shall not be liable for the performance of any action unable to be taken under this section without such additional information until it is received from the Servicer.

Trust Accounts; Distributions; Statements to Noteholders

SECTION 5.1 Establishment of Trust Accounts.

(a) (i) The Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, shall establish and maintain in its own name an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Collection Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders. The Collection Account shall initially be established with the Indenture Trustee.

(ii) The Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, shall establish and maintain in its own name an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Note Distribution Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders. The Note Distribution Account shall initially be established with the Indenture Trustee.

(iii) The Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, shall establish and maintain in its own name an Eligible Deposit Account (the “Reserve Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders. The Reserve Account shall initially be established with the Indenture Trustee.

(b) Funds on deposit in the Collection Account, the Reserve Account and the Note Distribution Account (collectively, the “Trust Accounts”) shall be invested by the Indenture Trustee (or any custodian with respect to funds on deposit in any such account) in Eligible

Investments selected in writing by the Servicer (pursuant to standing instructions or otherwise). All such Eligible Investments shall be held by or on behalf of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. Funds on deposit in any Trust Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the following Distribution Date. All Eligible Investments will be held to maturity. Each institution at which the relevant Trust Account is maintained shall invest the funds therein as directed in writing by the Servicer in Eligible Investments. Absent written direction by the Servicer, funds will remain uninvested (it being understood that any successor Servicer shall have no obligation to select Eligible Investments). The Servicer acknowledges that upon its written request and at no additional cost, it has the right to receive notification after the completion of each purchase and sale of Eligible Investments or the Indenture Trustee’s receipt of a broker’s confirmation. The Servicer agrees that such notifications shall not be provided by the Indenture Trustee hereunder, and the Indenture Trustee shall make available, upon request and in lieu of notifications, periodic account statements that reflect such investment activity. No statement need be made available for any account if no activity has occurred in such account during such period.

(c) All Investment Earnings of moneys deposited in each Trust Account shall be deposited (or caused to be deposited) in the Collection Account on each Distribution Date by the Indenture Trustee and applied as Available Funds on such Distribution Date, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to the related Trust Account. The Servicer will not direct the Indenture Trustee to make any investment of any funds held in any of the Trust Accounts unless the security interest granted and perfected in such account will continue to be perfected in such investment, in either case without any further action by any Person, and, in connection with any direction to the Indenture Trustee to make any such investment, if requested by the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, to such effect.

(d) The Indenture Trustee shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any of the Trust Accounts resulting from any loss on any Eligible Investment included therein except for losses attributable to the Indenture Trustee’s negligence or bad faith or its failure to make payments on such Eligible Investments issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as trustee, in accordance with their terms.

(e) If (i) the Servicer shall have failed to give investment directions in writing for any funds on deposit in the Trust Accounts to the Indenture Trustee by 1:00 p.m. Eastern time (or such other time as may be agreed by the Issuer and Indenture Trustee) on any Business Day; or (ii) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing with respect to the Notes but the Notes shall not have been declared due and payable, or, if such Notes shall have been declared due and payable following an Event of Default, amounts collected or received from the Issuer Property are being applied as if there had not been such a declaration; then the funds in the Trust Accounts shall remain uninvested.

(f) (i) The Indenture Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Trust Accounts and in all proceeds thereof for the benefit of the Noteholders and all such funds, investments, proceeds and income shall be part of the Owner Trust Estate. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trust Accounts shall be under the sole

dominion and control of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders. If, at any time, any of the Trust Accounts ceases to be an Eligible Deposit Account, the Indenture Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall within five Business Days (or such longer period as to which each Rating Agency may consent) establish a new Trust Account as an Eligible Deposit Account and shall transfer any cash and/or any investments to such new Trust Account. In connection with the foregoing, the Servicer agrees that, in the event that any of the Trust Accounts are not accounts with the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall notify the Indenture Trustee in writing promptly upon any of such Trust Accounts ceasing to be an Eligible Deposit Account.

(ii) With respect to the Trust Account Property, the Indenture Trustee agrees that:

(A) any Trust Account Property that is held in deposit accounts shall be held solely in the Eligible Deposit Accounts; and, except as otherwise provided herein, each such Eligible Deposit Account shall be subject to the exclusive custody and control of the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee shall have sole signature authority with respect thereto;

(B) any Trust Account Property that constitutes Physical Property shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with paragraph (a) of the definition of “Delivery” and shall be held, pending maturity or disposition, solely by the Indenture Trustee or a securities intermediary (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(14) of the UCC) acting solely for the Indenture Trustee;

(C) the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” for purposes of Section 8-110 of the UCC shall be the State of New York;

(D) any Trust Account Property that is a book-entry security held through the Federal Reserve System pursuant to Federal book-entry regulations shall be delivered in accordance with paragraph (b) of the definition of “Delivery” and shall be maintained by the Indenture Trustee, pending maturity or disposition, through continued book-entry registration of such Trust Account Property as described in such paragraph;

(E) any Trust Account Property that is an “uncertificated security” or a “security entitlement” under Article 8 of the UCC and that is not governed by clause (D) above shall be delivered to the Indenture Trustee in accordance with paragraph (c) or (d), if applicable, of the definition of “Delivery” and shall be maintained by the Indenture Trustee, pending maturity or disposition, through continued registration of the Indenture Trustee’s (or its nominee’s) ownership of such security; and

(F) any cash that is Trust Account Property shall be considered a “financial asset” under Article 8 of the UCC.

(g) The Servicer shall have the power to instruct the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and payments from the Trust Accounts for the purpose of permitting the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee to carry out their respective duties hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on any Distribution Date the distribution priorities set forth in Section 5.6(a) or Section 5.6(b) of the Indenture are applicable then all distributions of Total Available Funds on such Distribution Date will be made in accordance with such applicable section of the Indenture rather than in accordance with the priorities set forth above.

(d) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the Holding Trust’s payment (or allocations of income) to a Holding Trust Certificateholder or the Issuer’s payment (or allocations of income) to a Noteholder, such tax shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Holding Trust Certificateholder or Noteholder, as applicable, in accordance with this Section. The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to retain from amounts otherwise distributable to the Holding Trust Certificateholders or Noteholders sufficient funds for the payment of any tax attributable to the Holding Trust or the Issuer, as applicable (but such authorization shall not prevent the Indenture Trustee from contesting any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with respect to a Holding Trust Certificateholder or Noteholder shall be treated as cash distributed to such Holding Trust Certificateholder or Noteholder at the time it is withheld by Holding Trust or the Issuer, as applicable, and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with respect to a distribution (such as a distribution to a non-US Noteholder), the Indenture Trustee may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with this clause (d). In the event that a Holding Trust Certificateholder or a Noteholder wishes to apply for a refund of any such withholding tax, the Indenture Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with such Holding Trust Certificateholder or Noteholder in making such claim so long as such Noteholder agrees to reimburse the Indenture Trustee for any out-of-pocket expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred.

(e) Distributions required to be made to Noteholders on any Distribution Date shall be made to each Noteholder of record on the preceding Record Date either by (i) wire transfer, in immediately available funds, to the account of such Holder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefore, if such Noteholder shall have provided to the Note Registrar appropriate written instructions at least five Business Days prior to such Distribution Date and such Holder’s Notes in the aggregate evidence a denomination of not less than $1,000,000 or (ii) by check mailed to such Noteholder at the address of such holder appearing in the Note Register. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final distribution in respect of any Note (whether on the Final Scheduled Distribution Date or otherwise) will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Note at the office or agency maintained for that purpose by the Note Registrar pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Indenture.

(f) Subject to Section 5.1 and this section, monies received by the Indenture Trustee hereunder need not be segregated in any manner except to the extent required by law and may be deposited under such general conditions as may be prescribed by law, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any interest thereon.

SECTION 5.8 Reserve Account.

(a) (i) On the Closing Date, the Seller shall deposit the Specified Reserve Balance into the Reserve Account. Amounts held from time to time in the Reserve Account shall be held by the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders.

(ii) The Seller may, from time to time after the date hereof, request each Rating Agency to approve a formula for determining the Specified Reserve Balance that is different from the formula set forth herein, which may result in a decrease in the amount of the Specified Reserve Balance or change the manner by which the Reserve Account is funded. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if each Rating Agency then rating the Notes notifies the Seller (who shall send such notification to the Indenture Trustee) in writing that the use of any such new formula, and any decrease in the amount of the Specified Reserve Balance or change in the manner by which the Reserve Account is funded, will not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of its then current rating of the Notes then the Specified Reserve Balance will be determined in accordance with such new formula and this Agreement will be amended to reflect such new formula without the consent of any Noteholder.

(iii) On each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee (based on the information contained in the Servicer’s Certificate delivered on the related Determination Date) (A) if the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account (without taking into account any amount on deposit in the Reserve Account representing net investment earnings) is less than the Specified Reserve Balance, in which case the Indenture Trustee shall, after payment of any amounts required to be distributed pursuant to clauses (i) through (xx) of Section 5.7(a) deposit in the Reserve Account the Reserve Account Deposit Amount pursuant to Section 5.7(a)(xxi), (B) if the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account, after giving effect to all other deposits thereto and withdrawals therefrom to be made on such Distribution Date is greater than the Specified Reserve Balance, in which case the Indenture Trustee shall distribute the amount of such excess as part of Available Funds on such Distribution Date and (C) if the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account, together with Available Funds, is sufficient to pay all amounts due pursuant to clauses (i) through (xx) of Section 5.7(a) and the outstanding principal amount of each Class of Notes, in which case the Indenture Trustee shall distribute such amounts to pay the Notes in full on such Distribution Date.

(b) On each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee (based on the information contained in the Servicer’s Certificate delivered on the related Determination Date) to withdraw the Reserve Account Withdrawal Amount from the Reserve Account and deposit such amounts in the Collection Account to be included as Total Available Funds for that Distribution Date.

(c) Amounts properly transferred to the Certificate Distribution Account for payment to the Certificateholders pursuant to this Agreement shall not be available to the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer for the purpose of making deposits to the Reserve Account, or making payments to the Noteholders, nor shall the Certificateholders be required to refund any amount properly received by them.

The Indenture Trustee will make no representation or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of such documents, reports and information regarding the Receivables provided by the Servicer. The Indenture Trustee’s internet website shall be initially located at xxx.xxxxxxx.xxx or at such other address as shall be specified by the Indenture Trustee from time to time in writing to the Noteholders. In connection with providing access to the Indenture Trustee’s internet website, the Indenture Trustee may require registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the dissemination of information in accordance with this Agreement. The Indenture Trustee shall have the right to change the way the statements referred to in Section 5.9(a) above are distributed in order to make such distribution more convenient and/or more

accessible to the parties entitled to receive such statements so long as such statements are only provided to the then current Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee shall provide notification of any such change to all parties entitled to receive such statements in the manner described in Section 12.3 hereof, Section 11.4 of the Indenture or Section 11.5 of the Indenture, as appropriate.

or agent of Exeter or Backup Servicer may rely in good faith on the written advice of counsel or on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising under this Agreement.

SECTION 8.7 Servicer and Backup Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.4, neither the Servicer nor the Backup Servicer shall resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it by this Agreement as Servicer or Backup Servicer except upon a

determination that by reason of a change in legal requirements the performance of its duties under this Agreement would cause it to be in violation of such legal requirements in a manner which would have a material adverse effect on the Servicer or the Backup Servicer, as the case may be, if the Majority Noteholders do not elect to waive the obligations of the Servicer or the Backup Servicer, as the case may be, to perform the duties which render it legally unable to act or to delegate those duties to another Person. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer or the Backup Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered and acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee.

No resignation of the Backup Servicer shall become effective until an entity acceptable to the Majority Noteholders shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Backup Servicer; provided, however, that (i) in the event a successor Backup Servicer is not appointed within 60 days after the Backup Servicer has given notice of its resignation and has provided the Opinion of Counsel required by this Section, the Backup Servicer may petition a court for its removal (all reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in connection with such petition will be paid by the Issuer pursuant to Section 5.7(a) hereof or Section 5.6 of the Indenture, as applicable), (ii) the Backup Servicer may resign with the written consent of the Majority Noteholders and (iii) if Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association resigns as Indenture Trustee under the Indenture, it will no longer be the Backup Servicer.

(b) Failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform any other covenants or agreements of the Servicer set forth in this Agreement, which failure (i) materially and adversely affects the rights of Noteholders, and (ii) continues unremedied for a period of forty-five (45) days after knowledge thereof by the Servicer or after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee; provided, that no Servicer Termination Event will result from the breach by the Servicer of any covenant for which (A) the purchase of the affected Receivable is specified as the sole remedy pursuant to Section 4.7 and (B) such purchase of the affected Receivable has been consummated; or

(c) The entry of a decree or order for relief by a court or regulatory authority having jurisdiction in respect of the Servicer in an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter in effect, or another present or future, federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Servicer, or of any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Servicer and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days or the commencement of an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereinafter in effect, or another present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law and such case is not dismissed within sixty (60) days; or

(d) The commencement by the Servicer of a voluntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter in effect, or any other present or future, federal or state, bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or the consent by the Servicer to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Servicer or of any substantial part of its property or the making by the Servicer of an assignment for the benefit of creditors or the failure by the Servicer generally to pay its debts as such debts become due or the taking of corporate action by the Servicer in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or

(e) Any representation, warranty or statement of the Servicer made in this Agreement or any certificate, report or other writing delivered pursuant hereto shall prove to be incorrect in any material respect as of the time when the same shall have been made, and the incorrectness of such representation, warranty or statement has a material adverse effect on the Issuer, the Holding Trust or the Noteholders and, within forty-five (45) days after knowledge thereof by the Servicer or after written notice thereof shall have been given to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee, the circumstances or condition in respect of which such representation, warranty or statement was incorrect shall not have been eliminated or otherwise cured;

provided, however, that if any delay or failure of performance referred to in clause (a), (b) or (e) above shall have been caused by a Force Majeure Event, the grace period referred to in such clause shall be extended for an additional sixty (60) calendar days.

SECTION 9.2 Consequences of a Servicer Termination Event. If a Servicer Termination Event shall occur and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall at the direction of the Majority Noteholders, or the Majority Noteholders may, by notice given in writing to the Servicer and the Backup Servicer, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement. On or after the receipt by the Servicer and the Backup Servicer of such written notice or upon termination of the term of the Servicer, all authority, power, obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Notes, the Certificates or the Other Conveyed Property or otherwise, automatically shall pass to, be vested in and become obligations and responsibilities of the Backup Servicer (or such other successor Servicer appointed by the Majority Noteholders); provided, however, that the successor Servicer shall have no liability with respect to any obligation which was required to be performed by the terminated Servicer prior to the date that the successor Servicer becomes the Servicer or any claim based on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer. The successor Servicer is authorized and empowered by this Agreement to execute and deliver, on behalf of the terminated Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement of the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property and related documents to show the Holding Trust as lienholder or secured party on the related Lien Certificates, or otherwise. The terminated Servicer agrees to cooperate with the successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the terminated Servicer under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the terminated Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the terminated Servicer, in the Collection Account or thereafter received with respect to the Receivables and the delivery to the successor Servicer of all Receivable Files, Monthly Records and Collection Records and a computer tape in readable form as of the most

recent Business Day containing all information necessary to enable the successor Servicer to service the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property. If requested by the Controlling Party (acting at the written direction of the Majority Noteholders), the successor Servicer shall terminate the Lockbox Account Agreement and direct the Obligors to make all payments under the Receivables directly to the successor Servicer (in which event the successor Servicer shall process such payments in accordance with Section 4.2(e)), or to a lockbox established by the successor Servicer at the direction of the Majority Noteholders, at the Issuer’s expense. The terminated Servicer shall grant the Indenture Trustee, the successor Servicer and the Majority Noteholders reasonable access to the terminated Servicer’s premises at the terminated Servicer’s expense. All reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Backup Servicer in connection with the transfer and assumption of servicing obligations hereunder from the Servicer to the Backup Servicer, as the successor Servicer, converting the Servicer’s data to such party’s computer system and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section shall be paid by the terminated Servicer promptly upon presentation of a written invoice setting forth reasonable transition expenses. In no event shall the Backup Servicer, if it becomes the successor Servicer, be responsible for any such transition expenses. If the terminated Servicer fails to pay the transition expenses, the transition expenses shall be payable pursuant to Section 5.7 hereof.

SECTION 9.3 Appointment of Successor.

(a) On or after the time the receipt by the Servicer and the Backup Servicer of notice of the Servicer’s termination pursuant to Section 9.2 or upon the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.7, the Backup Servicer (unless the Majority Noteholders shall have exercised its option pursuant to Section 9.3(b) to appoint an alternate successor Servicer) shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and the transactions set forth or provided for in this Agreement and the other Basic Documents, and shall be subject to all the rights, responsibilities, restrictions, duties, liabilities and termination provisions relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents except as otherwise stated herein or therein, as applicable. The Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. If a successor Servicer is acting as Servicer hereunder, it shall be subject to termination under Section 9.2 upon the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event applicable to it as Servicer.

(b) The Controlling Party (acting at the written direction of the Majority Noteholders) may exercise at any time its right to appoint as Backup Servicer or as successor to the Servicer a Person other than the Person serving as Backup Servicer at the time, and shall have no liability to the Indenture Trustee, Exeter, the Seller, the Person then serving as Backup Servicer, any Noteholders or any other Person if it does so. Notwithstanding the above, if the Backup Servicer shall be legally unable or unwilling to act as Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee or the Majority Noteholders may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any eligible servicer as the successor to the Servicer. Pending appointment pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Backup Servicer shall act as successor Servicer unless it is legally unable to do so, in which event the outgoing Servicer shall continue to act as Servicer until a successor has been appointed and accepted such appointment. Subject to Section 8.7, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed as relieving the Backup Servicer of its obligation to succeed as successor Servicer upon

the termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 9.2 or the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.7. If upon the termination of the Servicer pursuant to Section 9.2 or the resignation of the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.7, the Majority Noteholders appoint a successor Servicer other than the Backup Servicer, the Backup Servicer shall not be relieved of its duties as Backup Servicer hereunder. In the event any successor Servicer is terminated pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof, the Controlling Party (acting at the written direction of the Majority Noteholders) shall appoint an eligible servicer as successor Servicer or may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a Person that it determines is competent to perform the duties of the Servicer hereunder as successor Servicer. Pending appointment pursuant to the preceding sentence, the outgoing Servicer shall continue to act as Servicer until a successor has been appointed and accepted such appointment.

(c) Any successor Servicer shall be entitled to such compensation (whether payable out of the Collection Account or otherwise) as the Servicer would have been entitled to under this Agreement if the Servicer had not resigned or been terminated hereunder or such other compensation as set forth herein. In connection with any appointment of a successor Servicer, arrangements may be made for the compensation of such successor Servicer out of collections on or in respect of the Receivables as the Seller and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that such compensation shall not be greater than that payable to Exeter as initial Servicer hereunder without the prior consent of the Controlling Party (acting at the written direction of the Majority Noteholders). The Backup Servicer and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. The Backup Servicer shall not be relieved of its duties as successor Servicer under this Section 9.3 until a newly appointed Servicer shall have assumed the obligations and duties of the terminated Servicer under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for any servicing fee or for any differential between the amount of the servicing fee paid to the initial Servicer and the amount necessary to induce any Person to act as successor Servicer.

(d) Upon its appointment, except as otherwise set forth herein or in any other Basic Document, the Backup Servicer or any other successor Servicer, as applicable, shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer with respect to servicing obligations under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Backup Servicer or the successor Servicer, as applicable; provided, however, that any successor Servicer (including the Backup Servicer) shall have (i) no liability with respect to any obligation which was required to be performed by the terminated Servicer prior to the date that the successor becomes the successor Servicer or any claim based on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer, (ii) no obligation to perform any repurchase or advancing obligations, if any, of the Servicer, (iii) no obligation to pay any taxes required to be paid by the Servicer, (iv) no obligation to pay any of the fees and expenses of any other party to this Agreement or the other Basic Documents (including, but not limited to, the Indenture Trustee, any Backup Servicer or the Custodian), (v) no obligation with respect to obtaining or maintaining Force-Placed Insurance under Section 4.4, (vi) no liability or obligation with respect to any Servicer indemnification obligations of any prior Servicer, including Exeter, and (vii) no liability or obligation with respect to the Servicer indemnification obligations specified in Section 6.7(a) of the Indenture or Section 6(b) of the Custodian Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Backup Servicer is authorized to accept and rely on all of the accounting records (including computer records) and work of the prior Servicer relating to the Receivables (collectively, the “Predecessor Servicer Work Product”) without any audit or other examination thereof, and the Backup Servicer shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for the acts and omissions of the prior Servicer. If any error, inaccuracy, omission or incorrect or non-standard practice or procedure (collectively, “Errors”) exist in any Predecessor Servicer Work Product and such Errors make it materially more difficult to service or should cause or materially contribute to the Backup Servicer making or continuing any Errors (collectively, “Continuing Errors”), the Backup Servicer shall have no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for such Continuing Errors; provided, however, that the Backup Servicer agrees to use its best efforts to prevent further Continuing Errors. In the event that the Backup Servicer has actual knowledge or received written notice of Errors or Continuing Errors, it shall, with the prior consent of the Controlling Party (acting at the written direction of the Majority Noteholders) use its best efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially reasonable to correct such Errors and Continuing Errors and to prevent future Continuing Errors. The Backup Servicer shall be entitled to recover its costs thereby expended in accordance with Section 5.7(a) of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.4 Notification to Noteholders. Upon any termination of, or appointment of a successor to, the Servicer or the Backup Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to each Noteholder and the Seller (who shall promptly deliver such notice to the Rating Agencies).

SECTION 9.5 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Majority Noteholders may, on behalf of all Noteholders, waive any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement and the Basic Documents. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 9.6 Backup Servicer Termination. Prior to an appointment as successor Servicer, the Controlling Party shall, at the direction of the Majority Noteholders, (a) immediately terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Backup Servicer under this Agreement in the event of a breach of any of the representations or warranties, covenants or obligations of the Backup Servicer contained in this Agreement or (b) in its sole discretion, without cause upon not less than 30 days’ notice, terminate the rights and obligations of the Backup Servicer. The terminated Backup Servicer agrees to cooperate with any successor Backup Servicer appointed by the Controlling Party in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the terminated Backup Servicer under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the delivery to the successor Backup Servicer of all documents, records and electronic information related to the Receivables in the possession of the Backup Servicer. Expenses incurred by the Backup Servicer in respect of the foregoing sentence shall be reimbursed in accordance with Section 5.7(a). Such termination shall not be effective unless and until a successor Backup Servicer is appointed by the Controlling Party at the direction of Majority Noteholders; provided, however, that the Backup Servicer may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Backup Servicer if one is not chosen within 60 days of such termination. All reasonable expenses incurred in connection with

such petition shall be paid by the Issuer pursuant to Section 5.7(a) hereof or Section 5.6 of the Indenture, as applicable.

(a) Subject to Section 10.1(a) of the Indenture, on the last day of any Collection Period as of which the Pool Balance shall be less than or equal to 10% of the Original Pool Balance, the Servicer and the Seller (so long as it is the holder of any Certificates) each shall have the option to purchase the Owner Holding Trust Estate, other than the Trust Accounts; provided, however, that the amount to be paid for such purchase (as set forth in the following sentence) shall be sufficient to pay the full amount of principal and interest then due and payable on the Notes. To exercise such option, the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, shall deposit or cause to be deposited, pursuant to Section 5.6, in the Collection Account an amount (the “Optional Purchase Amount”) equal to the greater of (i) the amount necessary to pay the full amount of principal and interest then due and payable on the Notes and (ii) the fair market value of the Trust Estate (as defined in the Indenture) other than the Reserve Account. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any Person that is a Certificateholder or Certificate Owner may deposit all or any portion of the Optional Purchase Amount to the Collection Account. If any Person deposits all or a portion of the Optional Purchase Amount to the Collection Account in connection with an optional purchase of all Receivables under this Section 10.1 but such optional purchase does not occur on the related Distribution Date (either because less than the entire Optional Purchase Amount is deposited to the Collection Account in order to effect the optional purchase or for any other reason), then the Indenture Trustee will return to each Person that deposited amounts to the Collection Account as Optional Purchase Amounts the amounts so deposited, without deduction or offset, on the Distribution Date on which the optional purchase was intended to be made, prior to any other allocations from the Collection Account in accordance with Section 5.7(a) hereof, Section 5.6 of the Indenture or any other provision of any Basic Document.

(b) Upon any sale of the assets of the Issuer or the Holding Trust pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Trust Agreement and Section 8.1 of the Holding Trust Agreement, respectively, the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to deposit the proceeds from such sale after all payments and reserves therefrom (including the expenses of such sale) have been made (the “Insolvency Proceeds”) in the Collection Account.

(c) Notice of any termination of the Holding Trust or the Issuer shall be given by the Servicer to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Backup Servicer and the Rating Agencies as soon as practicable after the Servicer has received notice thereof.

(d) Following the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture and the payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Notes, the Certificateholders will succeed to the rights of the Noteholders hereunder and the Owner Trustee will succeed to the rights of, and assume the obligations of, the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Agreement.

Servicer will be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel described in Section 12.1(c)(i) in connection with any such amendment or (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions in this Agreement, to comply with any changes in the Code or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that (A) such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder or (B) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to such amendment and the Seller or the Servicer shall have notified the Indenture Trustee in writing that the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to such amendment.

(b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties hereto and with the consent of the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders; provided, however, to the extent not otherwise permitted by clause (a) above, no such amendment shall (a) increase or reduce in any manner the amount or priority of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of payments on Receivables or distributions that shall be required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all the outstanding Notes of each class affected thereby.

Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Indenture Trustee shall furnish a copy of such amendment or consent to each Noteholder and the Seller (who shall deliver such notification to the Rating Agencies).

The Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing.

(c) Each of the Seller and the Servicer shall have an obligation to give the Owner Trustee, the Backup Servicer and Indenture Trustee at least 60 days’ prior written notice of any relocation of its principal executive office or jurisdiction of organization if, as a result of such relocation, the applicable provisions of the UCC would require the filing of any amendment of any previously filed financing or continuation statement or of any new financing statement and shall promptly file any such amendment or new financing statement. The Servicer shall at all times maintain (i) each office from which it shall service Receivables within the United States of America or Canada, and (ii) its principal executive office within the United States of America.
